Theology of the Body in Context: Genesis and Growth

The zenith of John Paul II's thought on the human person, marriage, and the family is found in his "theology of the body." For the first time, William E. May provides a comprehensive yet readable overview of this work in the context of several other key writings of Karol Wojtyla/John Paul II, providing rich insights into its development.

Works surveyed include Love and Responsibility, Familiaris Consortio, Mulieris Dignitatem, and Letter to Families.
